OGDEN CAN boast of knitting factory
which is turning out hosiery equal to
anything produced in that line any,
where. II is receiving substantial sup
port, too. The accommodating pro-
prietors are Messrs. Luke & Kletting.
ALEXANDER MITCHELL, ESQ.,, com
mercial agent, and E. E Holt, ESQ,
contracting agent of the Chicago, Mil

were IN town Tuesday, calling upon
our merchants in the interest of their

SLEDs ARE beginning to show them
selves on Fourth Street Hill and kin
dred places. The more enthusiastic
boys are doing a make believe" slid
Ing: Have patience, boys; Jack Frost,
with all his attributes, is still rather
shy, but will be here in full force soon.
QUITE A large number of Ogden's
young ladies showed themselves on
Sunday in winter garb adorned" The
prevailing material of the dresses worn
was composed of wooden, striped and
spotted, and apparently of quality
superior to what We have been accus.
toned to see. That's right, lauies, keep
up the caioric.
The DISCOURSE of Elder Nye, in the
tabernacle, on Sunday last, Is theme
OF much debate among theologians this
week. Bibles are read to q greater ex-
tent among them, to either prove or
disproye the rendering of the oath

piled. 1t is held by some to be correct; |
others don't see it that way.

Court, In this city, Tuesday, evidently |
considered herself unjustIy treated. |
judging from her remark overheard bv |
our reporter as he walked down stairs, |
that lit is not right; fair show is not |
being given" A gentleman who was |
with the lady did his best 10 console
her, but she remained obdurate, and |
would not be comforted.
THE Hook AND LADDER BOYS are to be
congratulated on the manner in which
they provided for their patrons who at
tended the masquerade ball Monday
evening. Over fifty couples were pres
ent to shake their legs" and the va
rlous costu ues worn and their appro-
priateness to the various characters as
sumed was the topic of conversation
among the 300 or 4C0 sight-seers who
had paid so cents for the privilege of
inspection. II IS not necessary to say
that the affair was a success, as the
Hook and Ladder boys always make
successful any and every thing they I'M
dertaGe. They pull together and work
with will. Bravo!
THE sTATEHEEr of Senator Stanford to
Hon. Lorin Farr, on the question of the
Union Depot, has more than passing
interest for the people of this city, par.
ticularly as it is admitted therein that
the claim OF Ogden to recognition, and
that, too, at an early date, is well
founded. We think Mr.. Farr is to be
for having obtained so
decisive and plain an expression from
the Senator as is conveyed in the words
that it is disgrace and a shame, and
.urther, an outrage upon the people of
Ogden, that the depot has not long
since been built" This is statement
which has been reiterated time without
lumber by the good people of this
'ity. and in which we all cordis Y
lcquiesce. This admission is. perhaps,
he most frank confession of Ogden's
necessities that has ever been made BY
! railroad official of such high stand
ng as Mr.. Stanford.
The question of completely covering
q the passenger tracks is one which ]
hould not by any means be allowed to
scape public notice. bat should, on
be other nsnd, be thrust to the fore. A
Iepot building merely providing for
relght and ticket offices for the com
'anies, and convenient waiting rooms
or passengers, etc., is not all that
depot should embrace. It is
aramouut that the passenger tracks,
s Governor Stanford wisely states,
houl be completely covered; and any 4
roposed depot building not incorpora-
ing this provision would be con-
emned, In the not very remote future. :
